I used Kaffe Fassett Paperweight for the borders, binding and backing.

I hand quilted in the ditch around each block with regular quilting thread, and then quilted diagonal lines across the quilt with Perle 8 in purple.
The facts:
The pattern is Sparkling Gemstones from Pam and Nicky Lintott's book, Jelly Roll Quilts.
The fabrics are a bright jelly roll with dark purple sashing.
The backing and borders are Kaffe Fasset Paperweight.
The finished quilt measures 64" x 64".

Love the colours in your quilt... beautiful!!!
colorful and cute! love how you did the quilting
great quilt, well done! I love the way that the sashing looks wavy - I can see that it is straight, i'm not criticising your piecing, but the pattern of the blocks makes it look curved.
Looks great. Love the pattern. Looks more complicated than it is.
This is absolutely beautiful! The colors do sparkle.
beutiful quilt, it just "feels' happy !
Love the colour impact, a really happy quilt.
Gorgeous! I just love how the purple sashing pops and the eye sees it as not a straight line! Your quilting is beautiful! Congrats on a wonderful finish :)
Love the bright colours in your quilt and how the sashing gives a different look.
It is so bright, I like it very much. Thanks for sharing.
What a great way to use your jelly roll! Fun & colourful.... :)
This is too cool. I'm looking at it and looking at it trying to figure out how you pieced it together.
That dark sashing really sets off those beautiful bright colours! The whole quilt does seem to be sparkling.
Oh, it's such a bright, happy quilt! What a treat to wake up to it every winter morning. I love your blog header image. Is it a quilt you made?
This is so vibrant and fun! and the hand quilting really makes it special!
Thanks so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!

Very pretty and colorful. The dark sashing was an excellent choice. I love the way dark colors make brights pop!
Beautiful quilt. I love the dark purple as the sashing. Really makes the jewel tones pop.
What a fun colorful quilt, I love the hand quilting!
That looks beautiful. A lot of sashing and work but it really comes together so well.
I love how it looks like a stained glass window! very very beautiful!
Very pretty.
Very very nicely done!
Just gorgeous! Love the bright colors against the dark sashing. Whoop whoop!
The dark purple sashing was a great idea!
The dark sashing really makes the colours of the jelly roll fabric pop. I've never thought of hand stitching in the ditch, I usually use it just for decorative effect. Think I'll give it a go :) (Visiting from the getting to know you email of the Plum and June blog hop hopefuls!)
I love your hand quilting! It gives it such an extra special look. I've never made a quilt with a jelly roll either, but this looks like it was a fun pattern! Visiting from the blog hop discussion group :)
Thanks for linking up!
